But it turns out that the two separate pimples have actually morphed into one.

There's a blackhead extraction video shared on Reddit that'll blow the mind of even a hardcore pimple popping fan.

In August Redditor TychaBrahae posted a Youtube video to the /r/popping subreddit, where it quickly attracted more than 400 comments. "I never knew blackheads like this developed in ears until I saw [...] these," the post's title reads. "Now, I don't know what is more disturbing, that they exist or that they are CONNECTED."

And they really are connected. As the eight-minute extraction session progresses, it becomes clearer and clearer that the two "separate" blackheads are really just parts of the same massive pimple. And that massive pimple is holding an incredible amount of gunk.

Be warned that this is a long, drawn-out, delayed-gratification kind of pop. As one Reddit commenter put it: "Oh man...patience is a virtue. I am so glad I stuck with it because that was a great payoff."

If you want to feel the tension build, watch it straight through from beginning to end. If you're here for the grand finale only, skip straight to 6:55.
